COOP: That was some kind of party!
The Thirsty Beagle would like to extend the warmest gratitude to the good chaps over at COOP Ale Works for opening up the brewery Saturday night for an open house. COOP celebrated the one-year anniversary of their first commercial batch with quite the party. More than 750 people consumed more than 200 gallons of beer. The place was packed, the music was blaring and the beer was a-flowin’. You can see in this picture what looks like a bunch of people standing around.
That was essentially a pair of lines — the first headed under the Oktoberfest banner for tastes of COOP’s starting five: DNR, Native Amber, Horny Toad, Gran Sport Porter and Zeppelin German Wheat. The second line was headed into the back of the brewery for a sample of the recently introduced Oak Aged Imperial Stout and the yet-to-be-released F5 IPA. I can proudly report that now I’ve tried all of COOP’s offerings and can strongly suggest that when the F5 IPA comes out, do yourself a favor and go grab one. I’ve tried a variety of IPAs, and none has the aroma of what COOP’s offering. Smelling that beer is an experience to behold. And of course, it tastes pretty damn good, too!
One interesting thing you may have noticed if you were there were these things posted on a wall:
Looks like some pretty sharp six-pack packages right there. I know after Saturday night there will be a lot of people on the lookout for the release of said six packs.
